Default 2003 lowered silverado needing new shocks

I have a 2003 silverado extended cab with a 5/7 or 4/6 drop with 20" rims. I'm hoping to get some advice on the best kinda shocks to put on my truck. My current shocks are shot. I live in Houston Tx and the roads aren't the best. Most of my driving is highway. I'm new to the forums and don't know much about shocks at all so any help would be appreciated. The guy at the shop said something about Belltech Nitro Drop 2 Shocks part #8000. Belltech Sport Trucks and Muscle Cars.

The street performance shocks are better than the drop 2's if your going belltech, or measure and find some better that fit..

Nissan Titan shocks fit and are the perfect length for a 7" rear drop. I think 30 bux from parts store

I recommend Nitro Drop 2s for Mild Drops or someone looking for a softer OE ride quality. If you want something a bit stiffer then Street Performance. The Belltech shocks do come the length needed for your size lowering kit if you provide that info =)
